60 Gallon Tank Tis the season (post your holiday pics here)

So I'm a BIG Christmas freak. So I decided this year that I wanted to decorate my newest tank. I'm not all the way done with decorating yet. So will most likely decorate my others as well..

I am just sharing a few pictures of our decorations, and one of my favorite Christmas picture EVER!...See if you can guess which photo it is...

Please feel free to post your holiday decor pictures here too~! And Happy Holidays!!!!!~

 

I am more about the Halloween than the Christmas but I must say I am really looking forward to doing the cooking and when my fiance sees what I got him his jaw is going to need to be surgically reattached! We each have a budget and lets just say I found a fair few bargains! (Thank you ebay!)

I love those pictures. I am waiting until my birthday to decorate my tanks depending on what I get I have 2 weeks off work soon so I will be doing a lot to them I hope!

 

OMG! Precious! Love the baby pic! I love your snowman/snowglobe collection! Even your cats!!!! I couldn't get my cat to do that if his life depended on it! LOL

Okay since I don't have my Christmas tree up yet ( postponed with the rain until NEXT weekend ) I'll post a few from last year ( and some of our favorite gifts and pics ) and then update with this years later:

 

My favorite is the baby with the santa hat, but my guess is you're fav is the bp.

I have some from last year too!
We take a limo ride every year to look at lights in Sacramento, especially the fab 40's!:



Finally found the perfect one!


My sisters tree that year, I don't know why we didn't take pictures of ours.

 

Hey Matt
We go to old town Sac every year too! We do the Polar Express train ride. Have you done that? Its really a hit and not very $$$.

 

No, I haven't tried that but my little one loves trains so I bet she'd freak! We'll have to do that! The only downside I can imagine: Do they serve bottomless champagne in the train ride?

 

I'll pm you later - sorry about the thread jack... MY BAD!

 

Hey!! I wanna go!!! Anf Matt...cmon now!!...lol..I LOVE my fish. But NOTHING compares to my baby girl!!! She is my angel!!! Love the pictures btw!! Matt is that you with the beard in the picture cutting down the tree??

 

I should've known, she's beautiful! The picture of just one fish seemed like you really liked it so I guessed

No that's my cousins husband, I'm the bald gentleman in the loud polo shirt holding a saw.

 

Oh ok. That's good because I pictured you completely different than he looks...You look more like what I would have imagined lol...And thank you...She is my baby. I really miss her being so little sometimes. She was barely 5 pounds when she was born and now she is 5 almost 6!!! Time flies by way too fast.

 

wow is that your house?! The guy with the hat in the limo looks like my old prof :'( miss him. I'm trying to put in my plug that we should actually put up decorations this year. We haven't since like ... '98 maybe?

 

Tunastrack- I know what you mean! My daughters only 2 1/2 but I already miss the little her, there's a pretty good chubby picture of her on my profile.

Ziggi- No way! I would never pay for that much electricity! There's certain areas of the city that go all out and all the tours and families go through them to check them out. I also don't do much decorations, I've got wreaths on the door and red bows on the light posts at the top of the driveway, that's about all.

 

Merry Christmas from my fish to yours...(it's a video but I didn't figure anyone would complain. )

 

Ready for Christmas

Hello

I know I am a little late putting up my Christmas tree but in my defence I have been really ill with flu but I finally got round to it today and thought I would share some pictures.

My flat is pretty small put still have a 6 foot tree lol

Hope you enjoy the pictures



Firstly I don't have a fireplace to hang our stockings so I have improvised



The tree is where I wanted to put a big fish tank but I was overuled although the tree takes up allot of space



And another with the main light on



With the main light off



And another



A close up of the top
The stoke city bauble is for Oliver it's our local team and he is an avid fan

Our advent calendar haul



Christmas Gizmo don't worry I won't feed him after midnight



Even master chief is feeling all Christmassy

Thank you for looking and please all feel free and welcome to add your Christmas tree piccies

 

I see a bunch of fish stuff under your tree Gizmo is awesome! I named one of my bettas after him (mogwai, the species that gizmo is ;D)

I think you guys like video games or something... Nice setup.

 

Ready for Christmas

Thank you Cichlidnut we are both gaming geeks that's only the surface of the game collectibles we have accumulated over the years.
We both have an Xbox each too to save on arguments lol.

MogwaI is a cool name for a betta.

I think the endlers think gizmo is there to feed them they have all massed at the top think I may have to move him so as not to build there hopes up lol

 

Don't get Gizmo wet, either!

 

All I want for Christmas is some Jaffa Cakes. I'm horribly addicted to them.

I wouldn't mind a load of minI gizmos

Jaffa cakes lol you can buy a yard of them in my local supermarket

 

They are darn near impossible to find in the US. It's so sad

 

Ready for Christmas

Maybe Santa will get you some? If I could send you some I would they are plentiful over here is it possible to airmail Jaffa cakes?

 

Yes, I've looked in to having them shipped. The cost of freight far exceed the actual cost of the wonderful Jaffa Cakes. So I'm relegated to dreaming of Hob nobs, Jaffa Cakes and toffee waffles.

I guess I'll just go have some KFC.

 

Ready for Christmas

Here you go Cichlidnut Oliver posing with his Jaffa cakes

Such a tease Nut

Sarah, I would send you some KFC mac if I could

 

Ready for Christmas

Thank you Tiggy my local KFC usually runs out of gravy too and everyone knows gravy is the best bit

 

Re: Ready for Christmas

GIZMO!! I love that movie. I had a cat named Gizmo.
What are jaffa cakes?

 

Jaffa Cakes: The original blend of dark crackly chocolate, light sponge and smashing orangey bit.

 

Christmas tree is finally up! Now just need presents!

 

Nice tree Junne, compliments the aquarium nicely.

We got ours up yesterday:


Every year my wife gets me an ornament, she got this one this year because it reminded her of our angelfish. Awwwwwwww

 

I love the ornament! I've looked all over for fishy ones but I haven't seen any yet.

 

Thanks Matt! I was thinking, nice aquarium - compliments the tree!! LOL

Where did your wife find that ornament? Really cute!!! I have not seen any - even at the pet stores ( well I saw a few but they were cheesy )
I like yours - very nice!!!

 

Haha! True either way.

She can't remember where she got it but its a mark roberts ornament, if you google his name and fish ornament some results come up.

 

Here I am taking jaffacakes for granted! I sometimes put them in the microwave for a few seconds and have them with ice cream, honey comb if I'm lucky!

That sounds really good! mmmm I'm going to have to do that.

 

Nice!!! We just got our tree this weekend as well! We were going to get it after Thanksgiving but it rained the last 2 weekends!!!

We are gaming freaks over here but on the WiI - you would die if I told you how many games we have - mostly my son plays it now - no time... lol

 

We still haven't set our tree up, since finals are this week

 

Don't remind me!!! We've been so busy with the Hanukkah festivities that we haven't set the tree up. However, the menorah is up

 

we live in a doll house, so this is our Christmas decor

although this only lasted 2 days....then I took it to work because of Amos, a giant kitten. We've changed his name to A-Mess. He's barely a year but as you see, he's quite comfortable making every shelf (and aquarium top) his personal space.

We would LIKE a tree, but we LOVE him *sigh*
